GSC Game World launched a remastered trilogy of the original Stalker games on Steam yesterday. However, they're not going down well with fans, who are upset at the removal of Soviet imagery as well as several issues such as blurry visuals and input lag.

Doom has always strived to make every weapon feel useful, and id Software has kept that philosophy even into the modern era.

Enemies, even boss fights like Orin, will fully recuperate their health if you go invisible. Fans are calling on Larian to 'fix' this, but an easy solution is just to bring summons. If you find yourself beaten and bruised mid-fight in Baldur's Gate 3, it might seem like a decent strategy to turn invisible, run away, and recover.

They believe that the Mother of Fingers was mutilated, and that the Two Fingers were cut off from her. The one thing I've never been able to nail down in Elden Ring is the Two Fingers and the Greater Will. It's a side of the lore that completely confounds me.
